the award-winning full version of 'Age of Conan: Hyborian
Adventures', complete with the numerous updates that have been
added to the game since launch, such as new gameplay features,
entirely new lands to explore and more. Thanks to these updates,
online gaming website MMORPG.com awarded 'Age of Conan' with the
'Most Improved MMO of 2009' award earlier this year. Also
included is the tamed puma, an exclusive in-game pet that is not
available through any other channels. Retail customers will also
receive an exclusive starter package containing several in-game
items that will help them on their adventures through Hyboria.
